Photographer's Note

This photo is a composite of three photos stitched together in Photoshop showing the crater rim and interior of Ngorogoro. The famous crater is a conservation area and has some of the highest densities of lions in the world, along with many other animals including black rhinos. Rains had fallen for a few weeks allowing the crater to become a bit more lush and green, and with some clouds on the horizon, I thought the shot gave a sense of the crater's immense expanse.
